Sauvignon | Grape variety



The originally French grape variety Sauvignon Blanc is also extremely popular in Italy: Sauvignon Blanc provides the basis for characterful and aromatic, dry white wines of the world. The grapes are also in great demand as a component of cuvées, they give any wine additional strength and spice.

Also Sauvignon Bianco from Italy surprises in recent decades and enjoys increasing popularity. The area under cultivation has increased dramatically in the last decade alone, another indication that wine drinkers recognize and appreciate the grape variety's potential. The unmistakable characteristic of this grape variety is the highly aromatic and exceedingly powerful aroma of gooseberries, herbs, grasses and green fruits. Worth mentioning also the typical mineral tone and the supporting acid structure. Due to its structure, this wine is excellent with fish dishes and seafood, as well as asparagus and pasta with cream sauces. In Italy, Sauvignon Blanc produces excellent wines, especially in the northeast, and the examples from Friuli and South Tyrol, with their fine fruity character, are particularly worthy of recommendation. - Gerardo [TS01/23]



´Stoan´ · Südtirol Weiß DOC 2022, Kellerei Tramin, Südtirol

Stoan · Südtirol Weiß DOC 2022


Kellerei Tramin, South Tyrol

The white wine cuvee Stoan is one of the artist wines from the house Tramin: Of bright, golden yellow color as well as refined, fruity aroma of peach, apricot, pear and elderberry. Harmonious and balanced on the palate, delicately fruity and with a delicate minerality, at the same time slightly melting and with a long-lasting, fine-creamy finish. - Gerardo [TS12/23]

"Brilliant greenish yellow. Intense and clear nose, smells of mirabelle plums, nectarines, some sage, fine nutty notes in the background. Creamy and dense on the palate, builds nice pressure, fills out the palate richly even in the back end, finishes on tree-ripened apple, some caramel." - Falstaff

"The Cantina Tramin Alto Adige Stoan is a beautifully executed blend of 65% Chardonnay, 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Pinot Bianco and 5% Gewürztraminer. Despite that small percentage, that last grape leaves its mark on the bouquet, with tropical flowers and hibiscus. The wine ages in large oak cask for 11 months. What works well here is the balance of the wine. Those floral notes are fleshed out with honey, golden apple and almond cookie. This is a real beauty." - Monica Larner (Robert Parkers Wine Advocate)

Sauvignon | Grape variety | Buy at Gerardo

Italy is known for its rich wine production and also has a steadily growing production of Sauvignon Blanc, a widely planted white grape variety. Sauvignon Blanc was first grown in Bordeaux, France, but has become established in other wine regions around the world, including Italy.

In Italy, Sauvignon Blanc is grown mainly in the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Winegrowers take advantage of the different climates and soil types in these regions to produce wines with distinct characteristics. Wines from Trentino-Alto Adige often have a fresh and fruity note with aromas of grass and citrus, while wines from Friuli-Venezia Giulia tend to be more complex and layered with notes of tropical fruits and herbs.

Italian Sauvignon Blanc is also characterized by its good acidity, which gives it a refreshing note. It is a light and drinkable wine that can be drunk as an aperitif or with light dishes. Some of the best Italian Sauvignon Blancs also have a pleasant minerally note caused by the soil and climate in the wine-growing areas.

Overall, Italian Sauvignon Blanc is a wine with a lot of potential that is gaining recognition and popularity among wine lovers. It offers a welcome change from classic Italian white wines and is a great representative of Italian wine production. Whether you are looking for a fresh and fruity wine for summer or a more complex and layered wine for special occasions, Italian Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent choice. - Gerardo [TS01/23]
